Headline: Python Eats Porcupine, Regrets It Later (Here's Why)

Well, duh.

Python Eats Porcupine, Regrets It Later (Here’s Why).

Yeah, I know we’re not suppose to post links to stories without at least some commentary. But that headline, y’know, just seems to tell the whole story.

Okay, some commentary. Actually, to be sure, it’s not clear exactly what happened to this python.

Same story here, with even more pictures (mostly of rangers slicing the snake open and skinning it).

It says that snakes eating porcupines is not all that uncommon. It also says that outcomes similar to this are not all that uncommon.

Stupid snakes.

That’s a meal that’ll really stick to the ribs.

I think it’s critically important here to eat the porcupine head first. That way it’ll probably come out OK :).

Snakes who mess up and eat the porcupine tail first are Darwin candidates for sure.

I’m pretty sure the porcupine is NOT gonna come out ok.

Finding something like that would put me off cycling pretty much forever.

Ya think it’s even possible for a snake to swallow a porcupine tail-first?

Evolution hasn’t kept up-the snake saw a tasty meal, but failed to heed the spines.
